Power BI Report Server Azure Image Missing PBI Components
Hi,
I just setup the Power BI Report Server Azure Image found in the marketplace:
The descriptions says it includes everything:
"This image deploys Power BI Report Server, which is compatible with Reporting Services reports, allowing the deployment and distribution of interactive Power BI reports and traditional paginated reports. This environment is licensed for development and testing only, not production. It is a pre-configured environment that includes all the Server components (Power BI Report Server, SQL Server Database Engine, SQL Server Analysis Services), client tools (Power BI Desktop, Mobile Report Publisher, Report Builder, SQL Server Data Tools) and sample demo content to preview the new functionality in Power BI Report Server. "
BUT, I am not finding ANY Power BI related apps, demo's or content. It does have SQL Server 2016 installed but nothing else. Not even the report server. Where is the Power BI related tools and content?
Mike

Hi mhammo,
Based on my test, this image can have the Power BI desktop, Report Server Configuration Manager installed. See:
sample demo content stored on Power BI report server, you can open the Report Server Configuration Manager -> Web Portal, click the URL to go to the web portal to see content.
By the way, you can get started with Power BI Report Server here.

When installing end of month July 2017 there is nothing related to Power BI on the VM image.
The report server configuration manager only brings up a 1990's style SQL Server reporting tool that can only spit out ugly looking GIFs. The web portal URL is not accessible from outside the VM localhost.
Total waste of time and money.
mhammo & jvdl I just created a fresh VM using the Azure template and everything is there, when I log in using the user specified when I created the template the desktop has shortcuts pointing to the ReportServer URL, Sample PBI Reports, PBI Desktop RS and SQL Data Tools. Can you both try to create a new VM and see if it resolves the issue. My guess is something happening during the provisioning which prevented the full setup of the VM. Thanks!
Same issue here. I tried South East Asia region, nothing related to Power BI is installed. I tried now West US and same issue
We've made a fix and we're waiting for approval to get the updated template published, it should be resolved soon. Thanks for your patience and reporting the issue.
